All my life though some have changed

Some forever, not for better

Some have gone and some remain'......Lennon and McCartney

Udaipur, India

Boat, Udaipur Lake 

OK, so I go from the Mermaid Parade to India....what?...like this is not a perfect segue...

I made two trips to India back a few years working on a project in Nathdwara, a city in Rajasthan, western India. Nathdwara means 'pathway to the Lord Shri Krishna'. On each trip we stayed in Udaipur and each day made the 45 mile drive to Nathdwara. ...This was a treacherous drive - not so much the condition of the  road but mostly because the locals thought this was a 4 lane highway. It was not uncommon for them to pass on blind turns..I think you get the picture....

Most days we took a boat across Udaipur Lake to The Lake Palace Hotel for dinner...This hotel was the former summer residence of the royal family before being converted to a fabulous hotel. The hotel is pictured below - an image I borrowed from the WWW....

Happy Memorial Day Weekend...........

Old Hotel - Hudson Valley

Hotel, Hudson Valley 

OK, it must have been my weekend for old hotels in the Hudson Valley.

Toronto

I had planned this post for last night but due to the weather and several business commitments I was unable to get it done. Was also planning on getting out to shoot a bit more but never got the opportunity. Oddly enough the weather/changing weather allowed me to make a few images from my hotel room window, and, I am re-posting the capture made on the ferry from Toronto City Airport.

These are the two favorite images from the trip.

Shooting in New York for the next two days at Radio City - surely some good IPhone opportunities will come from this.

In another week I will be leaving for two days in San Francisco (Atherton, CA) and the three days in Yosemite ending up in Los Angeles on Feb 15th. 

PS: Spending Sunday with Dan Burkholder at his home/studio to learn more about iphone imagery both capture and printing. Check out his website.
